A nice Cinelli Cinetica is on ebay at this moment but it has some issues, "the right side
shifting lever cable guided probably dropped inside the frame, and it
became not usable. I am not an engineer, I cannot repair it. The
shifting cable don't come out from the frame, but the cable house is
inside the frame."

Interestingly, the frame has no serial number, the seller speculates that it may have been a prototype. Size is given as 57.

You can find more Cinelli Cinetica information from previous blog posts, see the right column under Cinetica.

I invite you to contribute by sending in photographs of your Cinelli bike, illustrations, personal stories, and articles about Cinelli bikes and components. Thanks for stopping by. I can be contacted at veronaman@gmail.com

It is known that Mr. Schuster, owner of the Schuster bicycle shop in Germany, had frames made by the Italian subcontractor Vetta that had "Schuster"
pantographs on the fork crown and seat-stays. The lugs and BBs on these
bikes were always Cinelli (Cinelli was at the time also in the business
of selling framebuilding parts, lugs, bb, brake bridges, fork crowns,
etc).
